Planning a trip to Detroit for a week of Super Bowl festivities? There is a couple in suburban Grosse Pointe Park who will cater to your every whim. They’ll vacate their three- bedroom, 2 1/2-bath, 2,800-square-foot Colonial home, leaving you to watch their 54-inch high-definition TV. They’ll provide a daily maid and chef and catering services.

Need transportation once you get here? A driver will take you to and from the airport, game and anywhere else you need to go – in style – in a 2004 Jaguar or a 2004 Jeep Cherokee if it’s snowy. If you would prefer, limo rides can be arranged.

Having trouble leaving Fluffy and Spot behind? Don’t fret. They’ll also provide pet care while you enjoy your time in and around Motor City.

The price tag for this luxurious package: $2,000 a day, though the cost is negotiable.

Lynn and David Kiley are like many Detroiters trying to use their homes to cash in on having the world’s most popular sporting event right in their backyard. They’re advertising their homes – from one-room rentals to everything, including the kitchen sink – on websites such as eBay and craigslist. Some are asking upward of $30,000.

“There are going to be people who will spend the big bucks to feel comfortable in a real home setting.”

The National Football League and its Detroit affiliate, the Detroit Super Bowl XL Host Committee, are trying to quash expectations of a windfall in private house rentals. They say Detroit’s 32,000 hotel rooms are enough to satisfy the demands of the expected 100,000 out-of-town visitors who will come for the Feb. 5 game. The committee did not set up a house-rental program.

It’s a tough sell, David Kiley concedes, which is why he is offering services including pet care, a cook, daily cleaning, transportation and the lure of using their small cottage, a 50-minute drive from Detroit, for an extra $2,000. The Kiley home also is in walking distance of fashionable restaurants, boutiques and specialty shops.

“With the kind of money we’d make by renting out the house, we’ve got people who we will pay to provide all those extras,” says Kiley, 56.

One reason private house rentals aren’t overwhelmingly successful is that many Super Bowl visitors are celebrities, sports figures or corporate executives who require housekeeping, catering and overall pampering, not just a place to sleep.

The NFL has reserved 19,000 hotel rooms in Detroit for its staff, the two competing teams, an expected 3,000 members of the media and the league’s corporate sponsors and invited guests. Most of the balance of Detroit’s 32,000 area rooms will go to fans coming in for the game.
